| Feb 5, 2015 at 20:34 | comment | added | DoneWithThis. | essentially 'exchange' is [swap] one of mine for one of yours, change is just get 'something different' instead of what you currently have, no direct trade between 2 participants. Airplane seats nearly breaks that, but not quite - neither were really 'yours' to start with. | |

| Feb 5, 2015 at 20:26 | comment | added | Mrt | @TRomano I got it. Can I ask for the situations on my question can we use "change over" too especially for small items which can be carried like pen ."Let's change over our pens, you have blue one but you want red one and I have red one but I want blue one" | |

| Feb 5, 2015 at 20:16 | comment | added | TimR | Trade is probably the best choice for a permanent exchange. Would you be interested in trading cars? Or I'll trade you this saddle and horse blanket for that canteen full of water. | |
| Feb 5, 2015 at 20:09 | comment | added | Mrt | @TRomano Thank you for your answer.I knew these words but it sparked another question, which word would I use if I wanted to keep it permanently.? | |
| Feb 5, 2015 at 20:09 | comment | added | user3169 | Did you check the definitions of change and exchange to see if they apply to your scenarios? You would get a better understanding of the usage; then if some confusion those details would make a better question. | |
